Despite suffering back-to-back losses, it is clear that Fedor Emelianenko is still one of the most polarizing figures in all of MMA.
He was as dominant as any fighter in his time, he is soft spoken, and he has incredible fashion sense (see picture to your right)
The man who went undefeated for a 10-year span has now had to accept two-straight losses and the idea that the sport has evolved to a level he can’t currently reach.
In an interesting thought, Strikeforce light heavyweight, Gegard Mousasi, expressed his thoughts on what may have led to Fedor’s down fall in this interview with MMAFighting.com’s Ariel Helwani.
The thoughts on Fedor begin around the 5:40 mark as Mousasi talks about Fedor being a loyal guy his loyalty to his training partners have kept him from developing into a better fighter. Now, Fedor has been switching things up and training in different areas of the world.
There has always been the idea amongst MMA camps that you never want to be the best fighter at your camp. The reason is is that there will be no fighters there to push you to a higher level.
